Watch Jack Caravanos on Inside Edition – Wearing the right mask matters now more than ever

Dr. Jack Caravanos from NYU’s school of public health says an N95 mask offers the best protection against the Omicron variant, and can be worn about a week before disposing of it. KN95 masks are also good for five days of use, and even longer if you disinfect them with hot steam. But cloth masks aren’t going to offer much Omicron protection, according to a new study.

ACGIH and BSOH Partnered for Successful FIV in Belgium

In mid-October, ACGIH traveled to Ghent, Belgium to facilitate a Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation (FIV) “On-the-Road” course hosted by the Belgian Society for Occupational Hygiene (BSOH). With nearly 40 participants, this well received event served as ACGIH’s initial entry for bringing the “World’s Best” Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation instruction to the global market.

Attendees considered ACGIH’s FIV materials to be of the highest importance within the field of occupational hygiene – particularly since education on this subject is rather scarce in Europe and often fragmented. Additionally, the ACGIH FIV course can be tailored to a unique audience and last anywhere from 2 – 5 days.
